In terms of why he got chosen, my guess is he wowed the casting directors. Also, he will probably have some say in the script and direction of Batman vs. Superman and maybe Justice League. From the past 2 movies he has been in, it is easily noticeable that he can play both the caped crusader (the fighter) and the world’s greatest detective. All I am waiting for is to hear his batman voice.

Thu, 29 Aug 2013 15:27:03 +0000http://screenrant.com/?p=356450#comment-852480I can see a lot of your points and even agree. But by “risky” they mean introducing a new batman in a new series (MOS), after a successful trilogy. It is kind of a no-brainer money-wise, but not without significant hurdles.

But the Keaton outcry was far louder and more universal (pre-internet thankfully). He wasn’t bad. I still didn’t like him at the time but I can appreciate now that Tim Burton wasn’t bothering with the perfect looks that the comics give Bruce Wayne. That’s not what they’ve done this time, but maybe they could and should have.

Thu, 29 Aug 2013 06:34:03 +0000http://screenrant.com/?p=356450#comment-852316I’ve been going back and listening to older episodes that I missed out on… today I listened to the Avengers one. Whichever dude on the podcast who keeps calling Joss Whedon “Josh” always cracks me up. I don’t get why he does that, and I don’t get why none of the other podcast guys point it out.

Also, who’s the person who keeps saying memes (pronounced MEEMS) as “MEEMAYS” or “MEEMEES” ? Again, the other guys just let it happen instead of saying “Haha, it’s MEEM you dork.” He’s done it in a few episodes and I still shake my head & think “hasn’t figured it out yet?” when it happens.

Wed, 28 Aug 2013 21:08:03 +0000http://screenrant.com/?p=356450#comment-851897My question is, in what world is combining Superman and Batman in the same movie together considered a “risky” venture? It’s rather amazing that no one in the industry has thought of it until now. Hell, you’ve had World’s Finest Comics which featured Bats and Supes together since the 40s. Fan films have been toying with the idea for at least a decade already. Hollywood as usually is generally the last guys to the party, but they seem to get the most fanfare once they show up.

Also, you guys are giving Hollywood waay too much credit for being smart. They’re in it for the money. Period. Trying to act as if they actually care about the project in any way other than getting the most butts in the seats regardless of the end product being necessary “good” or not is pretty naive considering you’ve got tons of examples that show that bad decisions get made by people all the time, because they looking at the box-office potential and not the end product.

Wed, 28 Aug 2013 20:38:02 +0000http://screenrant.com/?p=356450#comment-851863For the older ones of us out here, I only remind you of Michael Keaton. Same thing happened back then, and it turns out that Keaton actually wasn’t that bad. So, I’m all for giving an actor a chance (sometimes). It might suck, it might not, but if it does, it more than likely won’t be Afleck’s fault, and certainly not he’s alone.

I found it funny that Andrew was raving about it the day after I started watching it.

Tue, 27 Aug 2013 17:51:05 +0000http://screenrant.com/?p=356450#comment-850597Heavenly Creatures too. I remember being interested in PJ LOTR, and at least we knew he had a lot of ideas for the effects, and he was obviously a passionate film geek who was making well received movies. But really, what was the expectation for that movie? It seemed like for the most part it came in under the radar and then caught fire.

This project is in no way “under the radar.” And no matter how good Batfleck turns out to be, he brings a lot of Bagfleckage.

It will be interesting to see if Affleck signs on for multiple films. Personally, I don’t peg him as the kind of guy who would agree to a Marvel Studios type mega deal at this point in his career, but who knows? At this point, anything is possible. I really enjoyed your discussion on Man of Steel 2. I wasn’t so sure about it when it was first announced at Comic-Con, but now I’m on board with it and excited about the possibilities.
